A method for controlling he milking by a milking machine comprises the steps of: (i) controlling ( 47 ) a milking vacuum so that the milking vacuum is varied through the vacuum levels of a given range, while a milking animal is milked by the aid of the milking vacuum; (ii) monitoring ( 43 ) a milk flow from the milking animal during the variation of the vacuum levels; (iii) setting ( 49 ) the milking vacuum to the lowest vacuum level of the given range, for which the milk flow from the milking animal is at least a given fraction of the highest milk flow monitored while the milking vacuum is varied; and (iv) keeping ( 51 ) the milking vacuum at the set vacuum level during a following part of the milking of the milking animal.
